Apple has released the third developer preview of OS X Mavericks, the latest release comes just two weeks after OS X Mavericks developer preview 2.
The latest developer version of Apple OS Mavericks is available as a software update from the app store for developers who previously installed the developer preview 2.
New Features and Enhancements
OS X Mavericks introduces a host of new features and enhancements designed to improve the overall user experience. One of the most notable additions is the inclusion of Finder Tabs, which allows users to manage multiple Finder windows within a single window using tabs, similar to how web browsers handle multiple pages. This feature is expected to streamline file management and increase productivity.
Another significant update is the introduction of Tags, which enables users to organize and find files more efficiently. By tagging files with keywords, users can easily search for and categorize their documents, photos, and other files across their Mac.
Additionally, Mavericks brings improvements to multiple display support. Users can now use multiple monitors more effectively, with each display having its own menu bar and the ability to run full-screen apps independently. This is particularly beneficial for professionals who rely on multiple screens for their workflow.
Performance and Battery Life Improvements
OS X Mavericks also focuses on performance and battery life enhancements. The new Compressed Memory feature helps to manage memory more efficiently by compressing inactive data, which frees up RAM for active processes. This results in a more responsive system, especially when running multiple applications simultaneously.
Moreover, Mavericks introduces App Nap, a feature that reduces the power consumption of background applications. When an app is not actively being used, App Nap automatically slows it down, conserving battery life without compromising performance. This is particularly useful for MacBook users who need to maximize their device’s battery life throughout the day.
Safari, Apple’s web browser, has also received significant updates in Mavericks. The new version of Safari includes a revamped Top Sites page, improved performance, and enhanced energy efficiency. The browser now uses less CPU power and memory, which contributes to longer battery life and a smoother browsing experience.
You can find out more details about the Apple OS X Mavericks Developer Preview 3 over at Apple’s developer website. OS X Mavericks will be released some time this fall, Apple have yet to give an exact date as yet.
